hyperlinks in table

Hello,   Is there a way I can post hyperlinks in a database, and have them show up in a table and be clickable in powerbi?   Thanks, Eric

Yes, but is there a way to do like <a href="http://www.website.com">click here</a>. The problem with the hyperlinks is that they can be very, very long and we don't want to show the whole query. Thanks!

Did you ever get an answer this by any chance? I would also like to use hyperlinks but some of the URL's are 60 characters or more. Not great on a dashboard!

Thanks

    I finally found the solution -- select the "URL Icon option" under the "Values" section on the grid "Format" tab.  This displays the URL as a "chain link" icon instead of the full URL.

      I'm going to have to try that out.  Everyone I asked told me it couldn't be done yet. Thanks!
